Surge

Power is the name of the game.

Score 0 High score 0 Level 1

Grab the surge and complete as many circuits as you can by closing shapes. Avoid red and trap it inside your circuit for bonus points. Every 1,000 points raises the level, adding speed, new board layouts and more enemies.

The same gesture as the interface, made playable.

Surge, the interaction, is a single burst of energy that responds to your touch. Surge, the game, hands you that surge and asks you to think with it: pull it along the grid, close a shape, and the area you enclose becomes your score. Trap the red enemy inside a shape and the reward triples.

It deepens as you go. Every thousand points is a new level, and each level turns one dial at a time: a faster enemy, a board with segments removed like a circuit, then a second enemy, and on from there. The core stays the same throughout; only the challenge grows.

A smaller version of this game lives inside the Surge design system, where it exists to let people feel the interaction. This is its full home.
